What Causes Intense Temperature,pressure And Redness In Head And Face And Blotchy Legs & Arms?

Hi. Yesterday, approx 5min after eating a tuna steak on salad and french beans with a drizzle of chilli oil, I experienced intense temp & pressure in my head & face; my face was red as was my chest, my legs and arms blotchy; my whole body shook; I felt lightheaded, nauseous and had severe diarrhea. However, my breathing was fine and my tongue was not swollen. Was this an allergic reaction? I have eaten this type of food for many years so I find it very unusual that I would suddenly become allergic.Is it possible that there was bacteria in the (fairly rare) tuna steak?

Seems like allergic reaction. Source of allergen (substance which cause allery) has to be found out. If tuna was old or not stored properly then it could have caused such problems.
